and shame on congress and shame on us for not holding our congress accountable. >> shira, back to the issue of accountability, and i can't go back enough to the statement of david keene, the president of nra saying he doesn't believe an assault weapons ban would go through congress but some of the proposals expecting from the president which john touched on includes a universal background check on all gun buyers and the white house not backing off on a new assault weapons ban. the president saying consult your conscience. with some of the stats that john also pointed out and with this new ground swell of people who are gun rights advocates backed by mayors, bloomberg with his millions of dollars of influence and out with a new ad today, where does this leave the members of the gop? even those in red states. >> right. so, there's some members of congress, republicans, many of whom in the south from conservative areas that will not vote for anything that at all looks like a restriction on gun rights. they won't vote for it. some democrats, a few, as well. to pass any kind of legislation

the 113th congress. will it prove to be the same old matchup between the white house and capitol hill? the new members of the senate will be sworn in just about an hour or so from now on capitol hill. a bit later on this afternoon. house speaker john boehner could face an historical vote to keep his seat today, just a day after the all-out mutiny on the s.s. boehner. >> there's only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims, the house majority and their speaker, john boehner. i called the speaker four times last night after 11:20 and he did not take my calls. >> the dismissive attitude that was shown last night toward new york, new jersey and connecticut typifies, i believe, a strain in the republican party. this should not be the republican party, this should not be the republican leadership. >> under pressure the speaker issued a joint statement with eric cantor, saying getting critical aid to victims of hurricane sandy should be the first priority in the enough congress.
